I felt compelled to ask everyone up here if I sound funny when I talk. Well, not sound funny, but if have a weird accent. Before I begin, let me share a short story...
When I was in..4th or 5th grade, I remember receiving an award that had to do with me speaking English very very well. At first, I was confused because there were alot of other students who spoke as well as I did. But! I then found out that the award was for students who weren't caucasian! And what made it even more amazing was the fact that I was the only student that got the award, which meant a big awards ceremony with lots of old people that looked important, music and FOOD! That's all...a very random and not so great story.
SO! For some odd reason, I've been getting playing back this memory in my head daily...and one morning during turnover, I asked Caitlin if I talk funny. I now realize that I say the most random things whenever I talk to Caitlin, which then results to lots of laughter and me having to explain myself. She tells me that I do have a funny accent, but not an asian one. I asked her to elaborate some more and she, with short bursts of giggles in between every other word tells me that I talk in question marks. Like..." I ate sushi today? And I probably ate too much?"
Notice the bolded "shi" and "too". She also pointed out that whenever I talk in my question marks or just overall, I tend to exaggerate words or parts of words and say them in a higher pitch than my regular speaking voice.
Am I even making any sense? I can't tell you. But you can tell me! :)
I got attacked by a squirrel today. Holy cow, that's definitely a story I need to save for another post. I really enjoy having stare offs with squirrels. I've never beaten a squirrel at a stare off, partly because I feel as if they're going to pounce on me and rip me to shreds.
Yeah, a tiny squirrel, ripping me to shreds. It can happen.

haha, oh man, you do talk in question marks! i never thought about it before....
by the way, there are about a billion squirrels in michigan...they like to wait at the side of the road and dart in front of my car at the last possible moment before i drive by, so i FREAK out because i'm going to hit them. i mean, i haven't hit one yet...but they SCARE me sometimes, i swear i'm going to get it a wreck one day swerving to avoid hitting a squirrel.
um, sorry, random story. the end.
Hit them, I say you! Hit them!
You're not suppose to avoid them, they are little and tiny. And they have other brothers and sisters that are suicidal.
I don't want you to get hurt because of them. 'Cause if you do, I'll be tempted to kill every squirrel I see...
